Am George Gregson, Business Relations Manager for the Royal bank Of
Scotland (RBS) in Glasgow,Scoltland . I am
getting in touch with you regarding the estate of a deceased client with
similar last name and an investment placed
under our banks management.
I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this email sent
to you very confidential and respect the
integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I
contact you independently and no one is
informed of this communication.
In 2000, the subject matter, an American investor came to our bank to
engage in business discussions with our
private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio
of $8.35 million United States dollars,
which he wished to have us invest on his behalf.
Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and
made attractive margins for our first months
of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over
10 million United States Dollars. In mid
2002, he instructed that the principal sum (8.35M) be liquidated because
he needed to make an urgent investment
requiring cash payments in London. We got in touch with a specialist bank
in United Kingdom, NatWest Bank Plc (NWB)
London, United Kingdom who agreed to receive this money for a fee and make
cash available . However NatWest Bank Plc
got in touch with us last year that this money has not been claimed. On
further enquiries we found out that the
American investor was involved in an accident in Mainland Scotland, which
means he died intestate. He has no next of
kin and the reason I am writing you is because you share the same last name.
What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you
will be made the beneficiary of these funds.
NatWest Bank Plc will contact you informing you that money has been willed
to you. On verification, which will be
the details I make available to Royal Bank Of Scotland(RBS) and NatWest
Bank Plc (NWB) will be instructed to make
payments to you after all the necessary verification and application is
done. You do not have to have known the
American investor. I know this might be a bit heavy for you but please
trust me on this. For all your troubles I
propose that we split the money in half. In the banking circle this
happens every time. The other option is that the
money will revert back to the state.
This is a lifetime opportunity for us. I hold the KEY to these funds, and
as a British National we see so much cash
and funds being re-assigned daily. I would want us to keep communication
for now strictly by the below email
address.
I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success
and riches never come easy or on a
platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private
banking clients. Do not betray my confidence.
If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back
to me immediately via the below email
address.
I await your response
Mr George Gregson

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
